The United States Mint introduced the Palladium Eagle Coin in 2017, marking a significant milestone in the American Eagle Coin series. Unlike its gold, silver, and platinum counterparts, the Palladium Eagle Coin is the first and only palladium coin issued by the U.S. Mint. This coin was created in response to growing demand from investors and collectors for diverse, high-quality investment options.
The obverse of the Palladium Eagle Coin features a stunning rendition of Adolph A. Weinman’s “Winged Liberty” design, which initially appeared on the Mercury Dime from 1916 to 1945. This iconic design showcases Lady Liberty wearing a winged Phrygian cap, symbolizing freedom of thought. The coin’s reverse side displays a powerful image of an American eagle gripping a branch, inspired by Weinman’s 1907 American Institute of Architects Gold Medal. This design embodies strength and resilience, making it a fitting representation of this remarkable coin.
